to come along that way he will carry
off with him oil the semi-domesticated
birds, and the ostrich farmer is ruined.
The birds are plucked before they are
3 year old. The operat on is attended
with some difficulty and danger, as the
kick of an ostrich will cas- ly fracture
a limb. When several have to he
plucked they are penned up closely
together, so that there is no room for
tAem to spread their wings or make that
dart forward which appears to be the
necessary preliminary of kick. and the

We spent a week in the port, during
which the Captain loaded his vessel
with miscellaneous cargo, principally
cocoanuts. which find . ready sale in
India. The trade of Zanzibar with
European countries and the United

residents, and 1 left much gratifed
with my visit to this out-of-the-way
spot. L should like to say that the
slave-trade, which rendered Zanzibar
so notorious for many years, is dying
out, and, by treaty with the British
Government, the Sultan has guaranteed
that it shall cease entirely in the year
1889.

We found in the town bes des the Arab

While the Captain attended to his bust

show me around. As we walked along
a splendidly made road .esoting to the
interior of the island, my dull senses
were again startled by the approach of
four cream-codored horses drswing an
elegant landau, which had evidently
been turned out of q Paris or London

European and scmi-Oriental costume.

The beginning of hardship is like
the first taste of bitter food; it seems

is nothing else to satisfy our niger,
we take another bite. and find it pos

There is no despair so absolute as
that which comes with the Arst mo-

we have not yet known what it is to

despaired and to have recovered hope.

The Gallant Charge.

The feature in the grand new panorama
of the Battle of Gettysburg, corner of Sixth
and st. Peter streets, st. Paul, which seems
to appeal most strongly to the interest and
sympathy of local beholders is the vivid
portrayal of the grand. historic charge of
the gallant old First Minnesota regiment.
This regiment is truthfully and graphically
portrayed rushing heroically to the flaming
front, under the leadership of the brave
Col. Colvill, who was desperately wounded
in this battle. and yet survives. manned and
disfgured. an honored citizen of Red Wing.
The colonel and large number of the men
of the old First are painted from photo
graphs, and the likenesses are readily rec
ognized. The battle flag of the Twenty
eighth Virginia regiment, which led the
charge of Pickett's division. and is correctly
painted in its place in the picture lies in
the foreground. 1t was captured by Mar
shall Sherman. of st. Paul, member of
the First Minnesota, and by him loaned to
the panorama company.
